Wedding Colors ~ A Profusion of Pink And Grey From Weddings And The City
When Kristin Vining sent us this recent Charlotte wedding that her sister company Weddings And The City helped orchestrate, we were blown away by the details!
Elle and Todd were married this spring at The Green Uptown in Charlotte, NC. Their gray, pink, fuschia, purple {and every shade in-between} color palette was their inspiration and boy did they run with it! What a perfect palette for oodles and oodles of rose petals, crystals and orchids …
… not to mention a clear tent, silver chivari chairs, stunning linens and … well, you get the picture!
From Courtenay at Weddings And The City …
Elle had envisioned her wedding day all of her life! She knew exactly what she wanted! The BIG day took place in uptown Charlotte, at The Green, with the ceremony on the top tier, cocktail hour on the middle tier and the reception on the bottom tier in a clear top tent. Although Mother Nature worked against us most of the day, it stopped just in time for the ceremony and held off during the reception. It was absolutely gorgeous and full of color!
Elle, today’s beautiful bride, was raised by her grandparents. She knew that someday, somehow, she would find that same true love that they had shared ~ a love filled with absolute care and respect. She vowed to settle for nothing less. After her grandfather passed away, her devotion to her grandmother and her dream to find the same kind of love that her grandparents had shared, eventually led her to Todd.
from the lovely bride, Elle …
I know it sounds cliché, but I knew from the first moment we locked eyes that we had a connection. Todd is everything and more I could have ever hoped for. Todd is my fairytale ending and one of the most amazing people I have ever met.
We thank both of you, Elle & Todd for reminding us that old-fashioned love and devotion still rules! And thanks to Kristin, Courtenay (WATC) and all of the other fabulous vendors who helped this day become Elle & Todd’s fairy-tale day come true!
Special thanks to Tara Mauldin Photography and Savannah Strickland Photography.
Please visit Kristin Vining’s blog, as well as the Weddings And the City blog to see the full list of vendors for Elle and Todd’s wedding.

Yes, The shoes are nothing short of amazing. Where are they from?
I did some searching and I think I found the shoes! :)
They are Martinez Valero CANDY. On Zappos, the only size left in the pink shoe is a 10. But you might try the white shoe and have it dyed?

The bridesmaid's shoes are by Martinez Valero purchased at Nordstrom. The bridesmaids dresses are J.Crew.
This is my favorite wedding yet and the color palette is amazing! Where is the groom's tie from? Nicole from NYC
The groom's tie is from Neiman Marcus. The day, the bride, the team of vendors, the colors were all picture perfect! SUCH a fun time!!!
Awsome, love this colour palette !
Thanks so much for all your compliments! I picked up the shoes at Nordstrom last June so they probably don't have them anymore. Jessalyn is correct. The brand is Martinez Valero. The style is Candy and the color is Pink. I'll check the brand on Todd's tie tonight and get back to you, Nicole. Good luck, congratulations and best wishes to all of you in your upcoming weddings!
Elle
PS - Tara - we were honored to work with you too! Many thanks to everyone that helped us make our vision a reality! Also thanks to SMP for all the countless ideas and inspiration!!!

Oh goodness, so beautiful!! Where is the flower girl dress from? It fits so well with the rest of the decor, it's beautiful!
What designer are those great gray tuxes?? My fiance and I love them!! And who designed your wedding gown?
LOVE this wedding!! My colors are gray and yellow - I'd love to know where the flip-flops and flower girl dress is from? Such a gorgeous bride!!

What a beautiful color palette! Don't they all look so sharp in the first image? Sweet little bridesmaids dresses that they most definitely will wear again. I love that backless dress too with the black tie up.
The flip-flops were from Old Navy. I recognize the logo on them. Gorgeous wedding!

Where did the BM dresses come from?!?! They are so cute, and they really are something you could wear again! Thanks!
And the butterflies are so cute! Also, does anyone know where the flower girl's dress came from? Our flower girl is a little bit older like that one in the picture, and something like it would be perfect!
Love all the orchids! Yvonne Design, floral designer in Hawaii, loves tying orchids to strands of crystal- such a lovely look.
Love the color pallete. We did a pink and grey post on our site last month. I really like to colors together and this wedding used them perfectly
Great Idea with the dancing shoes!

The clear tent and linens really are rocking.
Oh pink and grey, perhaps my favourite palette. Beautiful.
WOW! Thank you again for all the wonderful compliments! I am truly flattered by all your positive feedback! A compliment from SMP readers is the ultimate flattery! I wanted to answer some of your questions ASAP!
*Bridesmaids Dresses - JCrew.com (they were AMAZING to work with) The color is silver mist, silk taffeta...which is very similar to the light pewter color they are now offering. Keep an eye out because I was able to get mine on sale! />
*I picked up the flip-flops from Old Navy and they were a hit! I think we bought around 20 pair...seriously the best $50 we spent! />
*The hanging butterflies are from Neiman Marcus here in Charlotte. The crazy unpredictable wind that day turned them into a hot mess so beware! LOL
*My dress - Monique Lhuillier. I purchased it from NY Bride and Loft in Charlotte, NC. It was a sample dress bought off the rack. Anna with Anna's alterations did an insanely great job adjusting it to fit me. If you are anywhere near Charlotte I HIGHLY recommend her!
*The sash on my dress was custom made by Shea Nicole Designs here in Charlotte. Again, Shea was seriously the best. She even came to my hotel wedding day and tied the sash for me! Can't say enough great things about her!
*The flowergirl dress was also purchased from JCrew.com. It looks like they no longer have it but they have some super adorable stuff right now to choose from!
*The tuxes were rented from The Tuxedo Lady. The brand is Calvin Klein. If you're in the area Lashonda was FABULOUS to work with!!!!!! (www.tuxedolady.com)
*The backless dress my friend Melissa is wearing came from a boutique in LA. I wish I knew more about it...I'll keep you posted if I'm able to find out which boutique.
*The butterflies in the flower arrangements are from Paper-Source. (http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/item/Butterfly-White-2.5-Wire/2904.016/490882.html)
Thank you so much again to everyone for your kind words! I hope this information helps you get one step closer to what you are looking for to make your special day perfect! Thanks again to everyone that helped Todd and me. We were so lucky to work with vendors that ALWAYS brought their A game and gave it 110%!!!!!!!
Elle
Honestly, I think the color combi was too matchy matchy/overdone.
I did like the reception--not a big fan of the wedding entourage.
p.s. the slippers idea was very clever!
I love the details of this wedding - the colors are marvelous!
What an amazing color palette -- I love it! Elle, you were such a beautiful, radiant bride! May I ask who made your wedding gown? It is gorgeous.
Whoops! Never mind! I read that it is a Monique Lhuillier gown. Why am I not surprised?!
Congratulations again!
I had to comment on this wedding, its beautiful, ive looked at this wedding 3 times. Gorgeous, so many pretty details

Wow! The colors you picked are awesome! Even some of the guests seem to match your wedding with their attire! Those colors are so hot right now and to pick them so far in advance and then have guests show up mathcing your wedding shows just how in tune you are with hot trends! Definitely not to matchy matchy, but very intouch with what is in style!!!!
u gals should check out the wedding dress and attire of JFK, Jr & Carolyn Bessette wedding @ www.bessettekennedywedding.com. worth the price of a bride's mag and really cool!
WOW. I would have not thought of this color combo...but it works! and it's beautiful....
OMG!!!! I love this color combination. Everyone picture and everyone in the pictures was gorgeous! I am finally inspired to start planning!!!
I just love this wedding!!! This is exactly what I would like to do!! The silver mixed with the bright color is perfect!!
